Author of The Night That Finds Us All, A Lush and Seething Hell, Murder Ballads Shirley Jackson, Bram Stoker, World Fantasy Award Finalist CLOSED TO BLURB REQUESTS, for now at least website: http://www.johnhornor.com
EVIL DEAD BURN didn't really work for me, tbh. I don't really know why other than to say I didn't really care about any of the characters and two of the female leads looked so similar I kept mixing them up. Oh, and there was no glee on the part of the Deadites which I feel defines them.
I have posted on the Contact Me page on my website "Closed to blurb requests" and damn me if both established and new authors blow right thru that rope & make their pitch anyway. It's always white males. Like, ALWAYS. Every fucking time. Rules don't apply to us because we're fucking special. *sigh*
I painted this water buffalo sometime in the late 90s, acrylic on some sort of canvas sheet, and have absolutely no recollection of the act of creation, not the execution nor acquisition of materials. I remember disliking it afterwards but seeing it now I rather like it
People always praise David Lynch's movies but let's get real for a second, the dude had the most amazing head of hair. If I had hair like that, I'd be a famous director too. I mean, it's a wild architectural movement, frozen in time and extruded from follicles. Just amazing.
I really enjoyed CULT CLASSIC, the original novella @johnhornor.bsky.social gave away at Camp Necon! It's a fun, fast-paced cosmic horror piece with a lot of heart, humor, and reverence for the days of TV horror hosts. If you picked up a copy at the conference, be sure to check it out soon!
I am at a bar and shortly there’ll be a CAKE tribute band called FAKE taking the stage. I love cake, both the band and the thing.
Today I learned there is a movie called Spandexorcist
*staring at the clouds, speaking to no one* I think the most perfect word in the English language is rambunctious
If you do believe in nominative determinism, how has your own name affected you? Hit me with it. I've also had to deal with being named John Jacobs, and the fucking song that goes with that name.
My middle name is HORNOR, which is one letter away from HORROR. I don't know if you believe in nominative determinism, but instead of becoming an Arkansan conservative, a brute of a man (or a sax player - Hornor derives from cornicen) I decided to guide my own fate and become a horror author.

Here are some of the songs I've been listening to this summer. It starts with a song Michelle and I love by Glen Hansard, a great musician who passed tragically this week. Our hearts go out to his family.
I’ve put out a decoy keyboard but this lil fucker can’t be fooled. Shouldn’t have named him Leonard Nimoy - too gd smart
I've been printing like a demon for the past couple of days. A bunch of my lino prints from the haunted archive will be back in stock from 12 00 (GMT) on Friday 31st July... 👁️ slipperyjack.bigcartel.com
Not only is he a smoking hot abolitionist who was assassinated for refusing orders to massacre indigenous folks, he "befriended Walt Whitman" according to his Wikipedia page which ABSOLUTELY means they fucked

And next, KAIJU AGONISTES! Amazon cancelled my f'ing pre-order and promptly apologized, but there was no un-flipping that switch, so I had to relist the book. Fortunately, it's back up faster than expected with a new monster by Doruk Golcu! Grab it here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0HC1ZWWQ...
Today’s heat index is 114 degrees. I am missing so many things about New England right now but the mild temps are #1
Just returned from band rehearsal where we tried out a new keyboard player and damn it if we're not becoming a fkn tight band. We've got an album coming out later this year. Very excited for the whole release.
Elliot Page is in the biggest blockbuster of the summer, Hunter Schafer is in the new Blade Runner. Keep up the pace. Inundate the normies with trans representation until the regressives pop like a balloon Alex Jones style. Trans people make up 1% of humanity. Get us in 1% of pop culture.
lil man is managing me pretty closely since i’ve returned
Drove from Amherst Mass to Little Rock, AR, in 36 hours and yer boy is tired
Canadian life expectancy is 3.3 years longer, and our crime rate is a third of yours.
Welp, I’m home from my New England / Camp Necon adventure. Leonard Nimoy seems happy to see me
Also, like, please recommend me your favourite little indie games from the past couple of years. Bonus points if they're short.
One of the big reasons I dipped into the PC Gaming world is so I can start covering indie games more extensively. Now that I'm up and running, if you're an editor or work in PR, reach out and let's chat.
